Details:
Upon exit, MinGW builds (mxe-cross-built) yield the following error message:
octave-cli:2> error: Permission denied
error: ignoring octave_execution_exception while preparing to exit
panic: Segmentation violation -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to 'octave-workspace'...
save to 'octave-workspace' complete
(also reported here:

)
I now see after restart that the history hasn't updated, so this exit crash
does affect some functionality.
Now I've seen a similar-looking issue before; in that case it had to do with
write permissions on the (location of the) history file. It was a bit sneaky
in the sense that unwary users couldn't know what the actual issue was.
But whatever the underlying issue, Octave shouldn't crash, not even on exit,
but rather catch the issue and somewhat politely suggest the user what to do.
I'll investigate later today (no time now) what the current underlying issue
could be and report back.
